With CPAP treatment, the percentage of REM sleep with STWs and the amplitude of STWs were significantly increased to the levels, which were not significantly different from those in the normal controls, while the frequency of STWs was not significantly changed. In addition, the total duration of REM sleep and the duration of REM sleep with STWs were both positively correlated with the duration of N3 sleep in the normal controls and the OSA patients with CPAP treatment. Furthermore, CPAP treatment also caused a significant increase in the duration of rapid eye movements in REM sleep.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>These findings suggest that there are some interconnections between NREM and REM sleep, and STWs not only represent the quality of REM sleep but also are correlated with N3 sleep.</p>","PeriodicalId":18896,"journal":{"name":"Nature and Science of Sleep","volume":"16 ","pages":"2111-2124"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11662678/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142877547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
